This consultation is now closed.

We are seeking views on draft social media guidance.

We have written this document to provide guidance to registrants who use social media. It explains how to use social media in a way that meets our standards.

We want to make clear that our expectations of registrants' behaviour extends to their use of social media, whilst recognising that the vast majority of registrants who use this medium already do so responsibly and without any difficulties at all.

The guidance cannot cover every issue that might come up. We have therefore focused on the issues which registrants and other stakeholders have told us they come across most frequently

You can download a copy of the consultation document and the draft guidance below. You will need to refer to these when responding.
